2026-08-26 Tsunami Hazards & Preparedness Presentation
Calendar Date:
Join UAF Professor Elena Troshina for a presentation on tsunami hazards and preparedness in Alaska.
Alaska has a long history of destructive tsunamis—but how well are we prepared for the next one? The presentation will explore how tsunamis are generated, why Alaska is particularly vulnerable, lessons from past disasters, and what coastal residents need to know to stay safe.
Wrangell Island Landslide Hazards
Wednesday, August 26 | 5:30 PM | City Hall
Where have landslides occurred on Wrangell Island, and where could they happen?
Join the Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS) for a public presentation exploring Wrangell Island’s landslide history and potential hazard areas.
DGGS will share what comparisons of lidar data, updated landslide mapping, and new hazard modeling reveal about how the landscape is changing and where landslides and debris flows may occur in and around Wrangell.
Residents, property owners, and anyone interested in learning more about Wrangell’s natural hazards and preparedness are encouraged to attend.
Please feel free to share these presentations with others who may be interested.
